About This Book:
Bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer pioneer, Jeff Hawkins, unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI.
For all of neuroscience’s advances, we’ve made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence?
Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world-not just one model, but tens of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.
A Thousand Brains heralds a revolution in the understanding of intelligence. It is a big-think book, in every sense of the word.
In his foreword to A Thousand Brains, Richard Dawkins called the book both “Brilliant” and “Exhilarating.” He warns the reader not to start reading this book at night, as it will “turn your mind into a whirling maelstrom of excitingly provocative ideas.”
A Thousand Brains is written in three sections, one about the brain, one about AI and one about the future of humanity. Jeff discusses each section in these three videos below.
- PART ONE: A New Understanding of the Brain
- PART TWO: Machine Intelligence
- PART THREE: Human Intelligence
